Having recently spent 60 bucks on the complete Olay Regenerist line for the hopelessly baggy-eyed and aging, I was a bit disconcerted by my nephew this morning. I picked him up at pre-school as usual. We were gathering his things when he dropped the bomb. Tipping over so he could peek up under my baseball cap, he said "you don't look good. Have you had your coffee?"

He will be 4 in a month or so.

It's not so much that a 4 year old knows me well enough to tell I haven't had coffee yet and am not, technically, a member of the human race until after Starbucks. The other parents got a big kick out of the comment. I can laugh at myself. It's just that... well I spent 60 bucks on the goop! Surely for that amount even a kid could see some improvement?

Probably not. Plus, kids at this age repeat things and sound older and more savvy than they are, right? Right... that's it. He was repeating something. It has nothing to do with the massive bags under my eyes. I'll just go with that.
